Abstract:
:From 1995 to 2000, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) sponsored an initiative to create and operate an Automatic Collision Notification (ACN) system on a demonstration basis in a rural area to provide faster and smarter emergency medical responses and in an attempt to save lives and reduce disabilities from injuries. This article is a brief summary of that demonstration.
